saw this advetised by a frenchman for sale ,thought it might bring a smile to a few. Gate valve schwing on a 7.5 ton renault  truck , they only mounted it last year! Is there anything thats right with it???????

It has license plates?

its a gate valve like a slidegate and how they hell does a mixer back up to that

I bet that old dog still pumps the mud ;~)

Bob,only if one could get the mud in the hopper.Hence the term "for sale"

Think these french have us all beat here ... the light bar  on the back must be like a wheelie bar on a dragster .... when you fill the hopper it stops the front from takin off !!!! and therefore lowers the hopper height... clever thinkin eh? 

You guys are all 100% WRONG!  I know I'm a rookie here, but let me explain this.

French concrete trucks have bigger tires which make them taller & allow them to load the hopper of this pump.

Tres bien

Bob   I agree i ran an old gate valve and always thought it was a great pump.

i still have a gate and love it slo much more smoother and wash out so much faster least mine does

if you look closely, you can see the handle of the shovel that comes standard with this model....for digging a three foot hole to park in, thus permitting the hopper to be at the proper height!!!

hahahaha five hundred pump guys squinting at their screens!!!!! suckers!!!

 That hopper is perfect, If it aint a six inch slump, it wont make it into the pump! AND there's no siamese transition to maneuver the chute around!

 Hey this may very well be the first gate valve that does'nt blow shit 40 feet into the air when the hopper runs low? I still have mixercans that hate me to this day due to my mud bomb gate valve HA,HA,HA! And that was almost 18 years ago!!!

truck :$500 pump unit: $500,

now workin in a neighbourhood near you!!

hahaha that is so true tootall thats one bad thing about gate valves when they blow they blow big
